Night without Borders

Chapter 129 God's Territory
In the living room filled with bronze artifacts, the soothing incense in the copper stove had gone out and had not been lit.

On the dark ebony coffee table, the faint fragrance of camellia wafts up the air. A man and a woman are drinking tea, looking quite calm and leisurely.

Qin Ming walked into the living room and recognized them at a glance. The man's name was Cui He, he looked to be in his early thirties, with a calm face and his hair had a slightly green luster.

"Good boy, I haven't seen you for two years. You look more energetic than before." Cui He stood up, strode over with a smile on his face, put his hands on his shoulders, shook them vigorously, and was very intimate.

"Fourth Uncle." Qin Ming called out with a smile.

In the past, although he and Cui He had an average relationship and seldom interacted with each other, today the other party faced him with a smile, and he couldn't respond with a cold face.

"Well, that's good. You have a very active body and are a good candidate for a new life." Cui He looked at him, with a flash of green light in his eyes.

Qin Ming knew that he was practicing the "Yi Mu Chang Qing Gong", a very powerful secret book that could absorb the essence of plants and fill the body with vigorous vitality.

"I was seriously ill and barely survived, so I'm not very active. But Fourth Uncle's skills have become more and more profound, and his body is full of the fresh air of plants and trees. I'm afraid he has lived dozens of years longer than ordinary people."

Qin Ming had already activated the technique of becoming one with the light and dust. Even if the other party placed his hands on his shoulders, he could not fully see his strong vitality.

Cui He put his arm around his shoulders and said, "You are always so humble, kid. As a man from our Cui family, you must be adventurous. No matter what, even if you don't use that name anymore, you are still my nephew."

Qin Ming smiled and said, "I would like to be high-profile, but I don't have the strength. If I had half of your skills as a teenager, I would go out and try my luck."

"You two are flattering each other." The woman drinking tea stood up. She was dressed in black, quite cool, but also had a luxurious aura.

"Aunt." Qin Ming was quite resistant in his heart, but he had to face it with a smile and pretend to be nice to them.

The woman in black was named Cui Shuning. Qin Ming had a distant relationship with her in the past. Even though they met often, he still felt a sense of alienation. It was obvious that she had known each other's identities and the truth for a long time.

"Fourth uncle and aunt are usually practicing hard, so how come they have time to come to this remote place today?" Qin Ming asked.

Cui He said: "I was passing by here for something, so I came to see you. Alas, what happened back then was really twisted, don't take it to heart, your parents actually miss you very much."

Qin Ming smiled and nodded. Such words were fine for just hearing.

"Why don't you go back with us?" A smile appeared on Cui Shuning's cold face, like ice and snow thawing, which was quite different from her usual temperament.

"You've suffered outside for the past two years. Come with us." Cui He also nodded. His green hair was shining and his Yi wood essence was very strong.

Qin Ming's hair almost stood on end. If he went back, he would never be able to get out again. Maybe he wouldn't die, but he couldn't expect to start a new life.

After his memory is fully restored, based on his understanding of these "elders", they will most likely keep him in a courtyard.

Qin Ming now has a very precise control over his body. He relaxed instantly and shook his head, saying, "If I go back, I'm bound to cause a lot of discussion."

"Are you still practicing silk calligraphy?" Cui Shuning asked casually.

Qin Ming knew that the highlight was coming, and he thought they might have some doubts, so he sent out two direct members?
He sighed softly, his eyes dim, and said, "My skull was smashed and I lost my memory for more than two years, so I stopped practicing silk calligraphy and never practiced it again."

"Alas, you have suffered." Cui Shuning touched his head.

Qin Ming felt disgusted and resisted very much. He really didn't want anyone to touch his head.

For a moment, he didn't want to be perfunctory anymore.

Finally, Cui Shuning stopped and sighed, "You've grown up. It's not appropriate to treat you as a child anymore."

In fact, it was mainly because she was a germaphobe. Born into a thousand-year-old family, she lived a luxurious life with fine clothes and delicious food. She didn't want to touch the hair of the boy who had no relationship with her now. Even though he was quite handsome, she still felt a little disgusted.

"That was your obsession. You have been practicing since you were young for more than ten years. With your talent, you might succeed if you continue practicing." Cui He sighed.

Qin Ming’s realm is just low, otherwise I really want to grab them and ask them how this obsession was formed?
Fortunately, he finally mastered the techniques written in the silk book!
Qin Ming looked depressed and said, "Uncle, Aunt, can you return the silk book to me? It is the only thing my grandfather left me."

Cui He nodded and said, "Now the silk book is being taken away by our ancestor for research. When he comes out of seclusion, I will personally deliver it to you."

Qin Ming didn't believe a word of his second half of the sentence, and clearly didn't want to return it.

He realized that it would be difficult to retrieve the silk book unless his strength reached a certain level or he had strong external support.

Cui Shuning said: "I heard that you were chosen by Meng Xinghai as the best in this city. It seems that you are walking very steadily and quickly on the road of freshman. You are indeed incredibly talented."

Qin Ming said: "I am ashamed. I accidentally became a relative of Meng Shu. It is all because of his kindness. My true strength is a little exaggerated."

Cui He smiled and said, "I heard that you had a fight with that brat from the Li family and kicked Li Qingxiao twice? Very good, you are worthy of being a child from our Cui family, this is how it should be!"

Qin Ming estimated that this was the only time he "really laughed". Seeing the Li family suffer a setback, the Cui family would be very satisfied.

Cui Shuning also smiled and said, "That's a good kick indeed. The Li family has only a history of more than 800 years. It's really overestimating your own capabilities to dream of becoming a thousand-year-old family."

Then, she said with a serious expression, "You have extraordinary talent and can go very far on this path. Why don't you become Chonghe's Jade Armor Guardian?"

Cui Shuning stared at his face, as if not wanting to miss any change in his expression.

Qin Ming thought to himself: You guys are so shameless!

He shook his head and said, "I am too weak to be a Jade Armor Guard."

Cui He also spoke up: "We are all family, you and Chonghe should be as close as brothers. Now, you are no longer practicing the methods in the silk book, and you are truly embarking on a new life. You have the Cui family behind you, who can provide you with all kinds of resources and help you rise quickly. Your realm will soon be improved, and you can go to help Chonghe."

He was also staring at Qin Ming's face, with green light flashing in his eyes.

Qin Ming shook his head and refused again.

He once vowed to practice hard and not become someone else's follower, let alone be Cui Chonghe's bodyguard!

Qin Ming looked at the two of them. What exactly did they want to do?
He suddenly realized that the Cui family had doubts about whether he had mastered the method in the silk book. Cui He suddenly said, "Qin Ming, if you don't go home, you won't be able to keep a low profile here. We all know in Qinghe City that you have become the 'number one' in the city now."

Qin Ming was stunned. His expression changed so quickly. How could his smile suddenly disappear and his words became quite stiff?

He noticed that both were looking at him.

Qin Ming frowned. The two of them first showed their affection, then suddenly asked him about the silk book, and then told him to be Cui Chonghe's bodyguard. Now their attitudes were cold and hard, blaming him for being high-profile.

He already understood that the two people did it intentionally, observing his expressions and prying into his heart through different attitudes and emotions.

After all, for some unknown reason, the Cui family was a little worried about him.

Qin Ming thought about it carefully and thought that their only worry was that he might master the techniques in the silk book.

"I have changed my name and settled in a remote place. I am no longer the original Cui Chonghe. Is this not okay?" he asked sincerely.

Cui Shuning nodded and said, "It's true that it's not low-key enough."

Cui He was very serious and asked, "Are you going to join an ancient Taoist school or a special institution of higher learning? Why not come back to the Cui family with us?"

Qin Ming has been patiently "procrastinating" and has tolerated them for a long time.

Now his smile was gone and he didn't want to say anything more.

If the Cui family forces him like this, it would be too much. He is Qin Ming now and has already cut off his past. What else do they want?

It was obvious that some people in Cui's family were becoming increasingly worried and wanted to cut off his future and prevent him from joining an ancient Taoist school or a special institution of higher learning.

"You two, please go away. You are not welcome here." Meng Xinghai walked into the living room with a grim look on his face.

Cui Shuning smiled and said, "Brother Meng, we are talking to our own children. It has nothing to do with you."

Cui He also spoke up: "Brother Meng, we have a deep relationship with this child. This is our family affair. We came here to take him away and focus on training him."

Meng Xinghai frowned and said, "We all know each other well, so don't say such things in front of me. Leave now, or don't blame me for being rude."

Cui Shuning smiled and said, "Brother Meng, don't be angry. Can we talk about reason? This is really the child raised by my family. No matter where we go to reason, we are always right."

"You have already given up on him. You are not afraid of losing face and making people think you are mean and ungrateful. Then you can just bring up all the things in the past again. Besides, don't say that I have nothing to do with him. He is my future son-in-law."

Meng Xinghai's words not only startled the two people from the Cui family, but also made Qin Ming slightly absent-minded.

"You don't even have a daughter, how can he be your son-in-law?" Cui Shuning smiled.

Meng Xinghai said, "You can't have a baby without a daughter? Besides, if time is limited, I can just adopt a daughter."

Cui Shuning's face turned slightly cold, and she said, "Brother Meng, do you value my child so much?"

"If you don't leave, I can only ask you to get out!" Meng Xinghai turned hostile. He had heard the conversation in the living room and had tolerated them for a long time.

"Brother Meng, you've gone too far!"

"Meng Xinghai, I advise you not to be so overbearing."

With a bang, all the bronze artifacts in the living room began to glow, and the calming incense in the copper incense burner burned automatically.
"You don't want to be treated as I give you face, do you?" Meng Xinghai said in a cold voice.

In the copper incense burner, the burning incense emitted a large amount of white mist, which spread rapidly and covered the two people in front.

Naturally, they would not surrender. Cui He's whole body was emitting a green light, his hair and eyes turned green, and a terrifying power erupted!

There was even more conscious spiritual light expanding from between Cui Shuning's eyebrows, which turned into a spiritual sword and slashed forward.

In the living room, all the ancient bronze artifacts were crystal clear, with ripples appearing, instantly making the space seem to solidify.

Neither Cui He nor Cui Shuning could move. They were suppressed and gasping for breath, their faces pale.

"This is... God's territory?"

"Divine wisdom has turned into territory!"

The two men spoke one after another and realized that the other party's strength was much higher than theirs, and that they were not on the same level at all.

The white mist wafting from the copper incense burner was like a rope that bound the two men, with circles of white mist entwined around them. Then the two men were lifted off the ground, thrown out of the living room, and fell in the yard in a mess.

"Get out!" Meng Xinghai yelled.

The two men stood up and walked away without saying a word.

Meng Xinghai slapped his forehead and said, "Oh no, these two people are deliberately offending me. In fact, they are testing my attitude towards you and then judging your current potential and so on."

He wanted to chase him out, but stopped and said, "Forget it. If you want to enter the ancestral temple of a major sect, or a famous institution of higher learning, you have to show some performance. You can't hide it when you are in danger."

It took Qin Ming a long time to calm down. The arrival of those two people made him cut off the last bond left by the past!
"Uncle Meng, do I need to hide my identity? Just enter... the dark mountains."

Meng Xinghai said: "What are you thinking? Don't worry. Some people in the Cui family cannot dominate the Night Fog World. Perform well and strive to become a core disciple of a top power as soon as possible."

Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'm relieved, Uncle Meng. In addition to the fight with Qi Daoming of Zhuguang City, I think some people from the Cui family will also come out to test. They want to verify something. Otherwise, Uncle Meng, you and I should discuss it together. If Cui He wants to intervene and send someone to the fight, you can let him take the Yi Mu Chang Qing Gong as the prize."

Meng Xinghai's eyes looked strange. Just now he seemed very lost and was about to wander in the desolate mountains and wilderness of the night fog world, but now he found that he had been thinking about other people's secret book.

"After all, I have lived in the Cui family for more than ten years and I understand the style of Fourth Uncle Cui He." Qin Ming said calmly.
